- Served in a bowl
- Scooped into cones
- Topping for pies
- Base for milkshakes
Allow the ice cream to soften slightly at room temperature for a few minutes before serving. This makes it easier to scoop and enhances its creamy texture. For milkshakes, combine scoops with milk and any desired flavorings in a blender until smooth. It can be layered with other ice cream flavors or used as a decadent topping for warm baked goods like brownies or apple pie, allowing the caramel to melt slightly.
